Yellowstone’s Kevin Costner Teams With Hollywood Legend for New Historical Epic Coming Very Soon
Yellowstone star Kevin Costner is set to return to TV screens for a new historical drama series, co-produced with another Hollywood icon. Yellowstone’s Kevin Costner is set to make a triumphant return to the small screen with his next venture, an epic Civil War series slated for release on Prime Video next year. The Hollywood heavyweight is teaming up with fellow silver screen legend Morgan Freeman to produce the eight-part series titled The Gray House. Scheduled to hit the streaming platform in early 2026, the historical drama will follow the riveting tale of a group of female spies who played a pivotal role in winning the war.
Not only does the series boast the creative prowess of two cinema icons behind the scenes, but it also promises a star-studded cast featuring familiar faces and rising stars. Heading the cast are Mary-Louise Parker, known for her role in The West Wing, Daisy Head from Harlots, Kindred’s breakout star Amethyst Davis, and Roots’ Ben Vereen, reports the Mirror.
They’ll be supported by a formidable ensemble cast, including Paul Anderson, Ian Duff, Hannah James, Robert Knepper, Christopher McDonald, Colin Morgan, Rob Morrow, Colin O’Donoghue, Sam Trammell, Ewan Miller and Keith David.
In addition to the star power of Costner and Freeman, the creative team behind the series is equally impressive. Leslie Greif, the producer behind the Emmy-winning miniseries Hatfields and McCoys, which starred Costner and Bill Paxton, penned the series alongside Darrell Fetty and John Sayles.
Moreover, Oscar-nominated director Roland Joffé, known for his work on The Killing Fields and The Mission, directed all eight episodes.
A synopsis for The Gray House via Deadline reads: “The drama focuses on the true story of a group of unsung women, a Virginia socialite, her mother, a formerly enslaved sister-in-arms, and the city’s most notorious courtesan.
“They operate deep inside the corridors of Confederate power and transform an underground railroad into an effective underground spy network, risking life and liberty.”
A fresh poster has also offered viewers their initial glimpse at the principal cast, hinting at explosive drama as Confederate and Union forces clash in fierce combat.
Deadline has also revealed that audiences can anticipate a stellar soundtrack, featuring an original track sung by country icon Willie Nelson. Major stars including Shania Twain, Killer Mike and Yolanda Adams will also appear, whilst Jon Bon Jovi has additionally co-penned one of the songs. The Gray House is premiering in early 2026 on Prime Video. Yellowstone is available to stream on Paramount+.
